If I was Bill Gates and serious about taking down this monster, I would use a lot of cash to keep it fully rented for a month, and within that month send out specially crafted ads, that can be traced back to its originating IP, this way we can find out exactly who is infected with this IP address. This IP address person can be contacted through their ISP and let it be known they are part of a botnet, and allow them to download a free tool from MS to clean up their machines, of course...there would be resistance to this, the ones resisting would have to be taken off their ISP traffic, until they actually fixed their machines.
This I believe would be a way to make a huge dent into this problem.
I agree with you to a certain extent, the farmers that have crops, yes, they need the extra hands on deck, the african villages with dirt as the only soil for miles around have no right bringing in kids into this world without being able to provide for them responsibly....those are the ones he is taking about...the commercials asking to send money.
When it comes to devastation on the planet, we are #1....no natural disaster compares....combine all of them at once...and we total that no problem. If we keep reproducing, the number becomes exponential....so does the problem.
Start telling people to use condoms, start telling them to not bring kids into the world if all they are going to do is sit there and wait for help to arrive. Start telling people who are capable of investing, do so in recycling materials, can you imagine how much we could recover if the governments forced all car makers to take back all their old jalopies and not only offer a discount on new cars for it, but also find a way of reusing the mats elsewhere.
Allow them no only to close down saturdays, but fridays as well, and you would have to pay less to your employees! Sad thing is if they go under, the monopoly created for all fedex like companies, will allow the price fixing for parcels just like the oil industry has been doing.
>Google has matured as a company and is now just like everyone else You mean now actually listens to all its shareholders, instead of just the 2 guys who created it in the first place....as they do not have controlling shares any longer in the company.
I just feel bad that we didnt think of this method 20 years ago, I think of all the lost power we could have been collecting from all subways around the world... atleast now, we will be making energy from using energy , and with the amount of vibrations a subway causes, I am sure we will make tons!
They woudl deserve an even bigger cudos, if they could send the next one, with enough materials to fix the one that has gotten stranded, and then be back up to a full 3 rovers instead of just 2 with 1 down...
Wow, what is so unusual, you think you know what a star is made up of, especially when you can just take a sample and test it right there and then, not we have been hypothesizing at all here....
If we really knew what a star was made up of, then I would agree, however, the fact is we still have yet to be able to take real samples, and even so, we should not think that all stars are the same, or even that we have come across all possible star types.....
Yes, I am intrigued as well about "sectors" almost like a hdd when it spins and places certain things in memory, they usually group together, although there is not set place on the hdd which is used only for this type of files, or etc....
You have to give it to god, when he built us, he definitely had the best computer in mind, we are great machine!
MS is big on copyright infringement, and this would be a great way to know when someone has ripped a cd/dvd they should not have.....I will stay clear of windows8!!!
A poster after my own heart....I agree with you a thousand fold, even though I think our money are better spent trying to help people suffering here, now....not in centuries from now...
I hate to say this, but I would love to see the stocks hit rock bottom here, and see this guy still try to get his bonus at the end of it all..... to show how much of a circus all these big companies have turned WS into..... at the end, who can fire this guy, who put him in charge, and where those people any more informed about what would happen with this strategy... it is not like they would be getting a consultant to review a CEO's strategies for the position BEFORE he got it......or is that not an option?
Why are we in such a rush to go out into space and colonize the moon and mars....really, let's work on ending world famine, and making the world pollution free first, are my thoughts....spending all this money makes it sound, desperate, and if there is desperation to get off this rock, then I guess an asteroid hitting earth is not far along too....
Obama, please read this message, the US economy is in dire need of major money...right? If BP oil is found at the root of this spill/leak again, hit them harder this time, like say 100 billion dollars....and take it from them, dont tell them they need to pay it off, I know they have it in all the oil stocks and what not...so just take it, as you already took the oil in the middle east(had no problems doing it then). Do not leave them a choice....so now you have 100 billion more, cool.... Then say they have to find and plug the leak, and this time have to do it in a week...else for each week after they will be charged another 10 billion dollars...
Let's see anyone spring a leak after this one....
The only way is to make an example out of the, especially being a second repeat offence.
I had said this in a previous post, not even 1 day after a story had been posted about the solar flares erupting due to some meteor nearby.... and I got shot down by someone saying that I knew nothing, and that it would not affect us this far away from the sun......yet here is claims that the radiation is what will affect us, and maybe the climate and power grids everywhere....so I guess I had a good assumption about this.
I like to read about something where I get this feeling of "you were on the right path with that thinking"....it makes me feel all fuzzy inside...
"Dont hate the player,......just hate the owners willing to pay millions for them"
>What happens when that detection marks a TrueCrypt MBR (which stores the decryption key for the whole drive) as a virus, and kills it? "Whoops, I accidentally all >your data"? TrueCrypt has special markers within its headers to allow any know AV software know that it is encrypted with TrueCrypt...this would not be a problem.
>What happens when a virus update kills the BIOS due to a bad write You make sure that the main BIOS chip is non editable due to a pin setting on the board, to allow a BIOS update you need to remove the pin setting to allow for it, then apply your update, then put the pin setting back to locked.....why is this so hard for people to understand....if you add a hardware variable to the equation, it means you need to physically be there for the update on a motherboard's BIOS...which I think should be standard, as not everyone should be playing with the BIOS....don't you agree?
No.....running at a faster pace causes you to age, and therefore we know adrenalin makes you pump blood faster...hence why this would seem as the reason. Any drug that makes your metabolic rate run faster makes you age faster, as the degeneration is quicker then the regeneration, unless you take steroids or gh or other know drugs to counter degeneration, you will age faster, but take gh, with adrenalin.....you end up with no signs of aging.

I think it is so awesome to have some innovative way of doing things that is less intrusive to the body, and gives the same results....

I guess this would be great commercial if it were for Oceans 14!!!
Agreed, this would never wash, as it would take "time" out of the US's controls

You make sure that the main BIOS chip is non editable due to a pin setting on the board, to allow a BIOS update you need to remove the pin setting to allow for it, then apply your update, then put the pin setting back to locked.....why is this so hard for people to understand....if you add a hardware variable to the equation, it means you need to physically be there for the update on a motherboard's BIOS...which I think should be standard, as not everyone should be playing with the BIOS....don't you agree?

So imagine if you actually instead of doing 93 minutes over a 172 hour week, you did actually more like 10 hours overall.....wow...just imagine....
have a good one, enjoy retirement, now let's finally revamp the whole business model, and add facebook tags everywhere....woot woot
I would so laugh if a real estate scam happened to happen on someone that used a scammed visa card to pay with....both would negate the other, no?
